What We Carry & How It Varies
We grow a deep selection of perennials year-round, but we don’t list them for sale on the site — they rotate through the nursery far too quickly to keep online inventory accurate.
Below is what we carry most often, grouped by sun, shade, and herbs. Availability always depends on the season, so if you have your eye on something specific, give us a call and we’ll check the benches for you.

We may still have it — our perennial selection changes constantly and not everything we grow is listed here. Call us at (864) 458-9864 and we’ll check availability for you.
